			Cyclists Use GPS To Draw a Goat Around Perth
I'm impressed

Australian cyclists have used "GPS art" to turn a 202km (125-mile) ride into the outline of a goat.

The four men plotted their route on an app before using it to track their journey around Perth. When it uploaded it displayed as a picture. GPS art has also been attempted by runners and other cyclists. They completed their route 6 hours later after starting. The cyclists, who are a group of friends, even stopped for drinks and snacks along the way. The group received a lot of attention after posting this on social media. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the quokka.

One person was amused the goat's beard was in a "hipster" suburb, Leederville. Others enjoyed a description of Mr Jones as "goat guy" in an interview on Australian television.

We all ride 10,000 km to 15,000 km a year.

Mr Jones
Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time.
